Artists: Frank Serrano

Contemporary landscape artist, Framk M. Serrano, was born in Los Angeles n November 29, 1967. He developed an early interest in art and nature, studying throughout his school days, but is largely self-taught. His natural talent eventually gained him a lucrative career as a freelance commercial artist. After his success in the commercial sector, Frank decided to pursue his passion for traditional oil painting and has since developed a strong following of collectors, both nationally and internationally.

Serrano, an avid outdoorsman, is recognized for his keen sense of atmospheric observation and ability to spontaneously interpret his personal connection with nature onto canvas. In 2003, he completed writing and ilustrating teh book, Plein Air Painting in Oil, published by the Walter Foster Company, which serves as a handbook to budding plein air artists and collectors of this genre of landscape painting. He has also servid as plein air painting consultant for Walt Disney Studios and has taught at the Disney Academy in Burbank, California.

Serrano travels widely throughout North America painting scenes from the desert southwest to the beautiful far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness. A hallmark of Serranos work is his unique talent for capturingthe hazy atmospheric mood characteristic of the west.

Frank M. Serrano is an Artist Member of the California Art Club.
